Hello,
after upgrade from GDB 6.3 to 6.4 I noticed that the error
return behavior of MI interface invoked by
"--interpreter=mi" changed. While with 6.3 an "^error" was
returned which can be used by programs to react, 6.4 only
returns "^done":
GDB 6.3:
(gdb)
ererwrererwrewr
&"ererwrererwrewr\n"
&"Undefined command: \"ererwrererwrewr\". Try \"help\".\n"
^error,msg="Undefined command: \"ererwrererwrewr\". Try
\"help\"."
(gdb)
GDB 6.4:
(gdb)
srwwerrweweer
&"srwwerrweweer\n"
&"Undefined command: \"srwwerrweweer\". Try \"help\".\n"
^done
(gdb)
With this, a GUI interface has the problem that it can't
decide if the GDB
has some problems parsing the command given to it or not
because it scans for
the "^error" string as result. With 6.4 this doesn't work
any more.
Do I miss anything here? What is the new recommended way to
do this job?
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but searching release note and list
archives I can't find a hint for this.
Thanks
Dirk
